Maybe more than he's ever wanted anything else in his life. It might be limited to wishful thinking, or he may be actively WorkingForABodyUpgrade, but either way, his fondest desire is to replace his meat with metal.** Bob has his extensive cybernetics removed as punishment and to disarm him.* '''Subverted''':** Bob looks scared as he's about to be robotized, but then smiles because he ''wants'' this to happen.** Bob wakes up as a cyborg and sees how extensively augmented he is.

Everyone regards this as a horrific fate. Except [[OnlySaneMan Sally]] who points out the ridiculousness of the situation.* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob at first doesn't want to be a robot, but then realizes how cool it would be, then thinks about how painful it could be, but changes his mind when he's told it's painless, but then changes his mind ''again'' when...* '''Averted''': It's impossible to convert anything living to fully robotic.* '''Enforced''': "We want to make losing to Emperor Evulz a serious threat, but we can't have him kill anyone.
